Just about every kid has a story about the time they tried to prank their parents. Sometimes it goes swimmingly and other times not so much. We're about to tell you a tale of the latter.

Just in time for Halloween season, the New York Post shared a video in which a little boy tries approaching his mom wearing a big furry mask for some fun scares.

He got popped for his prank:

The Post identified the little boy as Tylen Ellis and the mother as Tashila Alexander. The two were shopping at a Walmart in Chickasha, Oklahoma, when Tylen walked up to his mom in a mask. Next thing you know, her instincts got the best of her, and she socked him in the face.

Welp!

It looks like the little Tylen wasn't harmed by the blow, likely because the mask was super furry with padding. We know mama was just acting off natural instinct, and we all got to watch as Tylen learned a lesson for the ages: you don't play with Black mamas like that, child!
